Great quality, fast shipping!These pillows are wonderful! Both the inserts and covers are high quality - and free monogramming is such a treat! I was so delighted with these pillows that I've purchased more - would definitely recommend to others. Note, these are very soft - they'll stand up in their own for decorative purposes, but won't provide a lot of support (which is expected for down/down alternative pillow, just a note for those who may not think about it!)

Adorable!I copied a personalized pillow from a recent catalog - and gave HOHOHO pillows to 5 of my dearest friends. All different fabrics and thread colors - they were adorable! And it goes without saying, also with Ballard's amazing quality...I need to order another one for me!

Perfect colorI was looking for a not too big pillow for both color and support to place on a patterned chair. The Latte velvet is just right and the monogram adds a distinctive look.

Perfect PillowsI bought these pillows and mongrammed covers for two Adirondack chairs on my cottage porch. They look more expensive than they are, the color is a true navy blue and they provide just the right amount of lumbar support - they're perfect!

Perfect priced pillowI ordered 2 of the pillows in the chocolate burlap with the white initials to put in my dining room arm chairs-perfect fit. I also received one of these from a friend(who knows I love anything Ballard), again in chocolate burlap with a blue initial for our bedroom. I may order more for gifts.

Beautiful--- Looks hand tailoredI am very pleased with the Essential pillow, which I ordered in a sand colored twill material. The color and feel of the material are wonderful & I am very pleased with the down-blend insert, which is soft, but can be plumped up. The insert does not have the unpleasant smell that some inferior down-blend inserts have. The price is very reasonable, especially given the superior quality. My only disappointment is that they don't carry it in a 16" X 16" size. I will definitely purchase more of these pillows!

Great Finishing Touch!I purchased this pillow in the natural burlap and had it monogrammed in cream. It is the perfect finishing touch in a room that is accented with various burlap items (lamp shades, 2 other Ballard toss pillows...Ballard Burlap Shower Curtain in the adjoining bath). Love it!

Designer Look in this 12x20 pillow!I ordered this pillow in black check with our monogram. I absolutely love the quality of the fabric, the finish and the monogram is done perfectly. It looks like a much more expensive pillow than $26.00. I have ordered the same black check fabric in the table skirt, for my Ballard round table. Can't wait to get it~ Love Ballard!

Well made; great valueI bought 8 of these as gifts for couples, with their first initial on either side of the first initial of their last name. I got linen embroidered in off-white, and they are very attractive. These go with almost any decor, and are great under your head watching TV, as a lumbar pillow.

Beautiful giftI bought this pillow as a gift and it was a huge hit. For me, the appeal was that monogramming was free and the pillow insert was included. I was looking for a light gray and the spa linen was the closest match, but it has more green in it than I was expecting. Still, the recipient was so thrilled with the pillow and said she would gift this to others as well.

I loved the monogramming on the Burlap.The pillows were great but the pillow forms were very understuffed causing the pillow cover to look loose on the insert. Did return the pillow inserts.
